Core Economy

Description

" As far back as Aristotle, philosophers have understood that the critical family and community relationships were a second economy, originally called oekonomika. Economists have since demoted it by calling it the non-market economy. The environmental economist Neva Goodwin reversed the hierarchy by calling it the core economy.

Co-production points to ways in which we can rebuild and reinvigorate this core economy and realise its potential." (http://www.neweconomics.org/gen/z_sys_PublicationDetail.aspx?pid=257)
